- Precio: €€

Wine bar on the Muro dos Bacalhoeiros, above the Cais da Ribeira, with Portuguese wines by the glass, cheeses and cured meats and the Luís I bridge in front. No reservations.

A glass above the Cais
The Muro dos Bacalhoeiros is the wall that runs above the Cais da Ribeira, at the level of the rooftops of the quayside houses. On that stretch, with the terrace looking out over the Douro and the Luís I bridge to one side, is the Wine Quay Bar, which presents itself as the city's first wine bar. From its tables you see opposite the Vila Nova de Gaia cellars with their signs on the rooftops and, below, the comings and goings of the rabelo boats.
What to order
Wine, mostly Portuguese, with an international selection too, and to go with it, traditional Portuguese tapas: cheeses, chouriço and tinned fish. It is a good place to order by the glass wines from the country that you do not know and ask about them. It is not a restaurant, but a long stop before dinner. The website does not publish a menu or prices.
Opening hours and booking
It is open Monday to Saturday: in winter from 15:00 to 22:00 and in summer from 16:00 to 23:00. On Sunday it does not open. It does not take reservations, so the terrace belongs to whoever arrives first; in the late afternoon, with the light on Gaia, it fills up. For any query, by email, at winequaybar@gmail.com.
Getting there
You go down to the Cais da Ribeira from the cathedral or from São Bento, and climb to the wall by the steps on the quay, next to the bridge. From Rua Ferreira Borges, where Prova is, it is five minutes' walk.

Qué pedir: a glass of Portuguese wine with a board of Portuguese cheeses, on the wall terrace
